Cala Roja

Cala Roja is a wild and isolated little cove on Menorca's north coast, east of Cabo de Cavalleria, where you anchor off and swim ashore. The beach is tiny — around 160m long and just 15m wide — but what sets it apart is its distinctive red clay shoreline, giving the cala its name. The rugged, undeveloped setting means you'll likely have it almost to yourself.
